Scotland boss Gordon Strachan has a full squad to choose from. The six Celtic players in the squad - Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, Scott Brown, Stuart Armstrong, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths - could all start.

Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy and Nathaniel Clyne have pulled out of England's squad through injury. Captain Wayne Rooney, out of form with club side Manchester United, has been overlooked.

England visit Hampden today defending an eight-year undefeated record in qualifiers since they lost in Ukraine. They beat the Scots 3-0 at Wembley in November.

The Scots are looking for their first win over England at Hampden since 1985 when a Richard Gough header was enough to secure a 1-0 win and the Rous Cup.

And Scotland are looking to reach the finals of a major tournament for the first time since 1998, when they opened the World Cup in France with a 2-1 defeat in Paris to then holders Brazil before failing, in time-honoured fashion, to get out of the group stages. Strachan's men need a positive result on Saturday to keep hopes of reaching Russia in 2018 alive.

What's been said?

Strachan believes he has seen enough from his charges this week to suggest his side can gain revenge for their 3-0 defeat to their neighbours at Wembley last October to reignite their hopes of qualifying from Group F.

He said: "The enthusiasm the players have had and the time they've put in this week ... they're ready, they're ready for the game, physically and mentally.

"We have real assets in our team and real assets as a group. It's going to be well used tomorrow, we've got to use what we're good at.

"What we have in our group is enthusiasm, fitness and determination so we must use that. Within that we must relax when we have the ball, have no fear when we have the ball."
